What the area around Svatove looks like now:
That makes it really hard for any kind of advance there right now. But the ground will freeze in a few weeks, and then, it's game on.

On weapons:
More rocket artillery for Ukraine is very helpful. Turkey started this war trying to stay neutral, but Erdogan can now see that Russia is going to lose this war, and he wants to help the winning side. Baykar is going to build a drone factory in Ukraine, and the new grain deal is basically something that Turkey is imposing on Russia, as Turkey's navy would destroy the remainder of the Russia's Black Sea Fleet in a week.
This is significant, as it means that the Italian government won't need to go to their parliament every time it wants to donate more to Ukraine. They can just do it.
NATO's smallest country is contributing more than its much larger Belgian neighbor. They also announced that they are chipping in some 155mm shells and some drones.

Ukrainian commandoes blew up three helicopter gunships at a Russian military airfield close to the Latvian border, in one of the most spectacular behind-the-lines raids launched by either side since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, multiple sources confirmed on Tuesday, Nov. 1.
"the saboteurs entered the territory of a particularly important military base, went unnoticed to the helicopter parking lot, installed four explosive devices, that is, wasted some time, set a timer and also left the territory of the air base unnoticed.”

One thing that has been very conspicuously absent in this war has been any kind of action from Russia's special forces behind the lines.
If NATO and Russia were going at it, the US and NATO Special Forces would be feasting in Russia's rear. Evidently, Russia sucks at Special Forces too.

Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - 22 November 2022
On 18 November 2022, multiple Russian and Ukrainian media outlets reported that an attack took place at an oil terminal in Novorssiysk port on Russia’s Black Sea coast. A major base of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet (BSF) is close to the oil terminal.
The BSF relocated many of its submarine operations to Novorssiysk after its Sevastopol base in occupied Crimea was struck by Ukraine over the summer. Russian commanders will likely be concerned about threats to the Novorssiysk-based amphibious landing ship flotilla.
These vessels are relatively vulnerable without escorts and have assumed a more important role in supplying Russian forces in Ukraine since the Kerch Bridge was damaged in October.
Full details of this incident are yet to emerge. However, any demonstration of a Ukrainian capability to threaten Novorssiysk would highly likely represent a further strategic challenge for the BSF. It would also further undermine Russia’s already reduced maritime influence in the Black Sea.

Because everyone knows, a ground war in the winter time in that part of the world is a recipe for success.

It’s a smaller version of the MQ-9 predator drone. It has a big arse camera on it and can launch Hellfire missiles and drop bombs. It’s a long endurance platform but is incapable of flying in bad weather and very susceptible to anti-air weapons systems. It will have very limited utility during the Ukrainian winter.

Which is why the Potato administration is encouraging their chief money launderer, Zelensky, to seek peace talks, right?

I don't know what you mean by that. Obviously, both sides will have to fight in the winter. My point is simply that the mud, the rasputitsa as it's called in Russian, is a time when neither side will be able to do much. But then, the ground will freeze, and offensive operations will be possible.

Thank you. That’s exactly the type of response I hoped for.
Wonder why it’s being pushed now then? Prep for spring/summer by the time they’d be approved and delivered?

Any good shaslik recipes? Field expedient of course.

They can’t even properly equip their forces with tires on their military vehicles nor armor; there’s no way they will be fighting two wars on two different fronts
